LOCAL NEWS.

Sunday at Atlantic City. Fishing has been better this season than for several years past.

is spending two weeks with Mrs. E. Asher.

Rush E. Cox and family will remove

to Spring City, Pa., at the close of the

season.

John H. Davis and wife, of Wayne, Pa., are enjoying a two weeks' stay at

the Brighton.

Jordan Matthews and family closed their cottage on Tuesday and returned

to Philadelphia.

The Cape May County Fair will be held on September 18, 19 and 20 at Cape

May Court House.

John Voss is enclosing his property on Central avenue, near Seventh street,

with a neat fence.

C. C. Coolbaugh, Jr., of Philadelphia, is spending his vacation here, the guest

or Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Smith.

W. G. Cowgill, Postmaster at Paulsboro, N. J., is spending a few days at

the cottage of Rev. J. E. Lake.

C. Henry Myers and family have returned to their Millville home after spending a delightful season here. Mrs. Ann Scull, of Philadelphia, is visiting Ocean City for the first time, the guest of her son, James C. Scull. R. E. Evans, wife and child, of Philadelphia, are spending a short season here, the guests of Mrs. H. D. Smith. Miss Katie Atwood, of Beach Haven, formerly of Ocean City, is making a stay at her aunt's, Mrs. H. D. Smith. William C. Wilson and family, of Philadelphia, are quartered in J. H. Davis' Atlantic avenue cottage, north

of Fifth street.

R. W. Rutherford, of Philadelphia, has purchased a cottage and two lots on Asbury avenue, near Seventeenth

street, from H. G. Schultz.

Mrs. Godfrey Ang has been entertaining Captain Scull and wife, of Camden, and Mrs. Enoch Price, of Pleasantville, at her West avenue residence.

The closing exercises of the A. M. E. Mission will be held in Steelman's Hall, next Sunday evening. The Lord's Supper will be administered at the close of the service. A fair under the auspices of the Junior Christian Endeavor Society will be held in Brower's Pavilion, Eighth street and the boardwalk, Friday and Saturday evenings of this week. A local paper is just as much a local business enterprise as any store in the town, yet some people seem to think that it is a benevolent institution, and that it is run for the fun of the thing. The members of the Ocean City Camp Meeting Association, so ably presided over by Rev. S. Wesley Lake, has won high enconiums [sic] from all for the able manner in which the arrangements were carried out during the present camp. It was a successful meeting--financially and spiritually. Those who have complied with the law, and paid a fee for registering their dogs, do not feel very kindly over the fact that there are lots of unregistered curs roaming the streets without being molested. It is certainly not fair to make some pay and let others go free. All should be served alike. The clergyman in charge of the work of the Episcopalian Church here is anxious to secure a suitable lot for the erection of a church. This project appeals, of course, not only to the religious interests of a Christian community, but also to the common sense of the business interests of Ocean City. Now, will not some public spirited Christian man present a lot for this purpose of glorifying God and ministering to the welfare of men? Or, if the gift of a lot is out of the question, will not some one sell a lot at a nominal price so that a church may be erected before the season of 1895? Communications should be addressed at once to Rev. MARTIN AIGNER, Ocean City, N. J. Robert Burns. Rev. Wallace MacMullen, pastor of Grace M. E. Church, Philadephia, will lecture in the First M. E. Church on Tuesday evening next on "Robert Burns." Rev. MacMullen is a polished orator, pre-eminently qualified to do his chosen subject full justice, and we bespeak for him a full house. In addition to the lecture, a number of Scottish solos will add to the entertainment. The proceeds are for the benefit of the church, and those who attend will

not only enjoy a literary treat, but will also assist in a worthy cause.

ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel."

ABSECON. Mrs. Annie E. Babcock, Miss Ina Lee, Frank Slim and cousin, J. W. Cordery and wife, and J. D. Joslyn and wife attended Ocean City camp meeting.

SOMERS' POINT.

While Joseph Pleasanton was gunning one day last week he became fas-

tened in a bog, and despite his frantic endeavors to extricate himself he continued to sink until he was up to his hips in the mire. The frequent firing of his gun attracted attention, and with much difficulty he was rescued. Had assistance not been rendered it is prob-

able that he would have been smothered by sinking entirely under the surface.

HAMMONTON.

A large blacksnake crawled to the farm-house yard of Richard Colding Friday morning, and the three-year-old baby, seeing it, began to pull its tail.

The reptile attacked the child, biting it about the face several times before the screams of the child attracted the attention of the mother, who set a large setter dog on the serpent. For a few moments a desperate fight was waged between the two, but the dog proved the victor, breaking the snake's back.

BAKERSVILLE.

F. A. Price and family have returned to their home, Wilmington, Del., after a week's visit with their parents.

Daniel T. Steelman and wife are enjoying their annual visit to Ocean Grove during camp meeting.

It was the writer's privilege, recently, to examine a portion of "The Ladies Magazine," published in London, September, 1772. The magazine had formed an inner lining to an old hand trunk. The embossed paper lining had worn off so that entire articles published in the magazine could be easily read. The owner of the trunk has passed three score years and ten, and it originally belonged to the great-great-grand-father of the present owner. BARGAINSTOWN. A. Robinson returned to his post at the life saving station on Wednesday. Dr. F. F. Corson is visiting friends in Seaville and Barnegat. Captain M. C. Frambes and wife, of Atlantic City, visited their son, Smith Frambes, last Sunday. A number of young people of this place attended Ocean City camp last Thursday. Rev. J. I. Corson and wife have returned home from Seaville and Ocean City camp meeting. J. H. Brower and wife spent Friday at Ocean City. The mill-pond sociable was a grand success.

Miss Maggie Robinson has returned home after spending a month in Atlantic City.

ENGLISH CREEK.

The ladies of the church Aid Society will hold an orange sociable in English's grove, this place, next Wednesday evening. Proceeds for benefit of Asbury M. E. Church. Many boarders arrived at Mrs. Wesley Scull's popular boarding house last week.

Mrs. Kate Scull, and daughters Julia and Katie, spent a few days in Ocean City with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Frambes Smith.

Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Ingersoll are visiting friends in Atlantic City. Mr. Joseph Champion now draws the reins over a new trotter. Quite a number of our people attended the colored camp meeting at Mt. Pleas-

ant last Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Jeffries spent last week with friends at English Creek

and Sea View.

Our pastor, Rev. F. A. Howell and wife, are visiting friends at Tabernacle. Mrs. Georgetta Dennis is enjoying the sea breezes at Atlantic City. EGG HARBOR CITY. Ex-Judge Westcott, of Camden, counsel for Walter Lee, sentenced to serve three years in the State Prison for stealing a diamond from an excursionist at this place over a year ago, has made application for a new trial for his client, offering the plea of newly acquired

evidence.

While Charles Betz, a well-to-do farmer, was returning home Saturday afternoon from the Reading Railroad station in this place, after having been to Philadelphia to draw $200 from bank, he was attacked by three masked men near Germania. He and his sixteen-year-old son, who had met him, were ordered at the pistol's point to alight. When they did so one of the trio searched them and secured the money. Mr. Betz was allowed to keep his watch, which the highwaymen said might lead to their apprehension if they took it. When the robbery had been completed, Mr. Betz and his son were ordered to get into their carriage and drive as fast as they could away from the scene. This they did. Nothing has since been heard from the robbers. STEELMANVILLE. Dr. and Mrs. T. E. Ingram, of Marietta, Pa., were the guests of Miss Sarah Wheaton some days ago. Frank Crouse, wife and two children, accompanied by his brother-in-law, Mr. Winney, were the guests of Miss Wheaton over Friday and Saturday last.

About eight years ago they were residents of this place, but now reside near Harrisburg, Pa.

Mrs. Anna Hood and son Frank, of Philadelphia, have been visiting Captain Henry Steelman's family for this

past week; her son Harry also made a flying trip down from Millville on his wheel.

The electric storm of Sunday after-

noon played some of its pranks in this

place; struck a large tree on Captain

Henry Steelman's place and shattered

it all to pieces; also struck a large oak

on the school-house grounds and set it

on fire. The flames were extinguished by Brazier Booye.

Mr. Wilson and family, of Philadelphia, are the guests of Charles H.

Smith.

J. A. Dixon and family are moving from the Myers farm, and returning to Miss Sarah Wheaton's. The crops in this vicinity are greatly improved by the recent rains; cornfields are looking hundreds of dollars worth better than they did two weeks ago. Miss Minnie Gaskill, who has been suffering from rheumatism nearly all summer, is somewhat improved at this

writing.

PORT REPUBLIC. We are sorry to note that Mrs. Hattie Johnson is not improving in health. The convalescence of Eli Lashley pleases the whole community. Many friends and relatives of Mrs. Julia Cale, of Jersey City, are plunged in grief to hear of her demise, which occurred at her home on the 25th inst. Mrs. Cale was the oldest daughter of Rolland and Elizabeth Ashley. She was a general favorite among her companions in her youth. She was a most dutiful daughter, affectionate sister, a true and loving wife and a wise and tender mother. No one could be missed more, or more deeply mourned by her acquaintances. She leaves a bright and interesting family of four children. Her husband and children have our deepest sympathies. Many strangers, pleasant in face and manner, may be met each day upon our principal streets. All seem to be pleased with our "climate and productions" and express their intention of returning next summer. The jolly Hudson boys are gone, after having spent several days very pleasantly at Henry Bates'. Will French, a nephew of Mrs. Ashley Cake, is here for a short visit. He always enjoys himself and helps others to do the same. One of Samantha Allen's characters in verity boarded our stage at the railroad station one day last week. She was closely embracing three umbrellas, three grips, and stood protecting the proverbial little hair trunk till our genial stage driver hoisted the latter to the stage platform, when she was politely assisted inside the vehicle. The stage had not proceeded far when the passenger frantically called to the driver to stop and either drive the bees from the stage or let her dismount, as they were stinging her to death. Polite Mr. Brown informed the lady, with the most profuse explanations, that the insects that sung so beautifully and were applying their incisors so vigorously were not bees, but the dreadfully anathematized mosquitoes. She endeavored to endure with patience, unheard of before, for the remainder of the journey. The puzzler, however, remained to be solved on arriving in Port--where to alight this interesting stranger. She informed Mr. Brown that he could leave her trunk in the stage and her somewhere, she didn't know where. Whereupon he deposited her at the post-office, and insisted that she take her trunk with her. The last he saw of the lady she was struggling with her umbrellas and grips, leaving our long-sighted postmaster to make out to whom she was addressed. An evangelist, Mrs. Fletcher, preached to an appreciative audience here last Sunday evening. PLEASANTVILLE. J. B. Risley spent Sunday with his

mother.

Joshua Carty and Ziba Adams were in Ocean City last week. Lucas Lake visited his son Somers at Hammonton on Sunday. Mrs. Hannah Lake went to Ocean City to camp meeting on Saturday, returning Monday morning. Mrs. Addie Cox and daughter returned to Camden on Saturday after spending a part of the summer with Mrs. E. Hackett. Miss Kate Hackett, who has been visiting her parents part of the week, returned home on Sunday to Philadel-

phia.

H. Boyd and wife, of Camden, returned home on Sunday after visiting Mrs. Boyd's mother. Miss Jessie Christie, of Philadelphia, is visiting her cousin, Ray Lake. Ezra Megronigle, of Philadelphia, visited Jesse Lake on Sunday. Miss Lottie Wolbert, of Atlantic City, was Miss Clara Adams' guest on Sun-

day.

We noticed Robert Zane, of Tuckahoe, on our streets Sunday. Mrs. H. S. Lake is suffering with hay fever. Miss Edwina Megowan, who has been visiting Miss Ray Lake, returned home on Sunday. The Salem and Pleasantville schools will open on Tuesday, September 4th. Many a mother's heart will be glad. Rev. Mr. Reed supplied the pulpit of the Baptist Church on Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Crowell being called elsewhere. R. E. Tongin, wife and family are staying with Mr. and Mrs. Large for a few weeks. Charles Ingersoll buried his infant son on Saturday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Captain Lake have returned to their boat after paying a week's visit to their home. Miss Mame Craig gave a pleasant party last Thursday evening in honor of their guest, Mrs. Booth. They had a very pleasant time. A large number of Absecon and Pleasantville friends were present. About twenty of our young people went on a straw ride last Saturday evening to May's Landing, and to judge by their appearance next morning the mosquitoes had a good feast off them; however, they intend to try it again next Saturday night week. Mrs. Lottie Megronigle and Mrs. Phoebe Lake visited Mrs. P. B. Risley on Monday.

Harry Hackett has rented William Z. Adams' cottage on Washington avenue, and will go to housekeeping about the middle of September. Edward McGowan, of Philadelphia, visited Mr. A. P. Lake on Sunday. Mrs. S. A. Young, of Atlantic City, is visiting Mrs. H. S. Lake. Mrs. Susie Haines now draws the reins over a pair of fine cream white ponies. Miss Anna Bell Babcock, of Absecon, was visiting Miss Hannie Smith last week. Charles Johnson has returned home again after and [sic] absence of several weeks.

In the Grass. DEAR SENTINEL:--Cannot our excellent mayor and councilmen expend more of the present heavy income from taxes upon the streets and sidewalks of our city than is now being done? Whiskers, green as grass, obtrude themselves on the edges of the side-

walks, and building lots in the very centre of town are rank with under-

brush which serves no purpose but as a bivouac for mosquitoes.

Our alleys, too, are overgrown and dirty, and there is an air of neglect about the highways which "throws a gloom," so to speak, over our otherwise beautiful resort.

Moreover, his excellency, the Solici-tor-General of the Borough, has not paved his sidewalk, and numerous other citizens are derelict in this respect. Let us all clean up and pave, and then move on the West Jersey for lower fares next season. Then watch us grow!--provided the fares come down.

Capt. J. B. Scull's New Schooner. At C. C. Davidson's shipyard last Saturday at 4 p. m., the new schooner "Lydia and Mary," of 140 tons burden, was successfully launched. She was christened by James Carey as she glided off the ways, and now sits a perfect picture in her watery element. She is the property of Captain J. B. Scull, of New Jersey, the work having been done by Mr. Davidson. The schooner will be put in the Philadelphia trade. Captain Scull is an enterprising, energetic man and does much for this community, for which he certainly deserves the thanks of our people.--Milford

(Del.) Chronicle.

Captain Scull is well known in this section of New Jersey, residing here for a couple of years, prior to which he resided at May's Landing.

Struck a Jersey Schooner. The schooner Tillie G. Cruse, of Somers' Point, Captain Gandy, while lying at anchor near the lighthouse in Hampton Roads, Va., Sunday night was run into about 12 o'clock by the Old Dominion steamship Yorktown. The stern of the Cruse was cut off, and the water rushing in washed the captain out of his berth. Two men were carried overboard, but were picked up by the steamer and with the rest of the crew taken to Norfolk. The mate and a seaman were hurt, but are recov-

ering.

The schooner is now at Nansimond Flats, near Pig Point. The tug Mavetta has gone to her, and if possible will tow her to Norfolk. Both captains noted protests. Two from Cape May City. F. Percy Smith, a well-known Philadelphia banker, started Thursday morning on a fishing trip to Anglesea. While boarding a train at Cape May Court House he fell and broke his leg. He was brought to this city on the morning express train, and is now resting comfortably at his summer cottage. Jeremiah E. Mecray, father-in-law of James M. E. Hildreth, of this city, died Thursday morning. He was 89 years of age, and one of the wealthiest citizens of Cape May. Years ago he was proprietor and owner of the Centre House, which was burned in 1878.

Cape May Point Lots Sold. One hundred and five building lots and three cottages at Cape May Point, in the heart of the town, the property of I. Newton [?] of Philadelphia, were sold [?] May, to satisfy claims held by the New Jersey Trust and Safe Deposit Company of Camden, [?] estate of the late Alexander [?], who was president of the company. The lots were many of them bought in by E. A. Armstrong, of Camden, representing the trust company. The lots brought from $40 to $50 each after they had been bought in for $4000 at a lump bid.

Parties contemplating having their houses moved to new locations, or elevated and rebuilt will save money by corresponding with Abel D. Scull, builder and general house mover. Houses moved in any part of the county. Address A. D. Scull, builder, Thistle Cottage, Ocean City, N. J.

THE CAMP MEETING.

Enthusiasm Unprecedented--The Auditorium Crowded at Each Service--Many Conversions.

The camp meeting which closed last evening has been the most successful

in the history of the place. The at-

tendance has been quite large at each service and the conversions have been numerous. Rev. S. W. Lake, who had

the management of the camp, deserves

much credit for its wonderful success.

Following is an account of each day's services:

There were two conversions at Wednesday evening's service, and on Thurs-

day there was more interest manifested than there has been since the camp

opened. The early meeting was led by Rev. John R. Greer, of Germantown. At 10.30 Rev. Eli Gifford, pastor of the M. E. Church at Cape May City, officiated. The opening prayer was made by Rev. J. Ward Gamble, of Atlantic City. The afternoon sermon was preceded by a service of song, in which all joined heartily. Rev. Thomas Harrison preached the sermon, and Rev. Eli Gifford assisted in the service. Miss Smith, of New York City, sang a solo at the afternoon and evening services. Rev. W. A. Ferguson again had charge of the young people's meeting at the temple. The building was crowded to the doors, and more persons surrounded the place on the outside than were

within its walls. Rev. Thomas Harri-

son again occupied the pulpit in the evening. After the sermon, in response to the evangelist's invitation, a number came forward and knelt at the altar. There was an unusual attendance at the evening service. Rev. Theodore Stevens, of Philadelphia, preached Friday morning, and Rev. John H. Boswell, of the New Jersey Conference, officiated in the afternoon. Evangelist Harrison preached in the evening. The young people's meeting was packed to overflowing and the interest was unabated. The usual number of services were held Saturday, beginning with the Pentecostal service at 9.30 a. m. At 10.30 Rev. J. A. Lumley, of the New Jersey Conference, preached a sermon of remarkable power. In the afternoon, after the song service, Rev. George Poolton, pastor of the Fourth M. E. Church, Millville, delivered a very eloquent address. The young people were out in larger numbers than ever at their twilight service in the temple. Rev. W. A.

Ferguson, of Germantown, who has these meetings in charge, is a successful leader, and a variety of exercises make these gatherings very interesting.

In the evening Miss Smith, of New York, and Mr. Yocum, of Philadelphia, sang a duet at the young people's meet-

ing, and later at the Auditorium. The entire evening service at the Audito-

rium was conducted by Evangelist Har-

rison. His sermon was on "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" After the sermon a number of sinners were at the altar and conversions followed.

Sunday was a great day at the camp meeting. Nothing like it has been known since the founding of the place.

Great crowds of people have attended each service, many people coming from the surrounding villages in both Cape May and Atlantic counties. The services of the day began at 6 o'clock a. m., under the leadership of Rev. J. R. Greer, of Germantown. The Pentecostal service at 9.30 was the next in order. From this meeting the congregation joined

that already assembled in the Audito-

rium to attend the regular preaching service. A half-hour's song service pre-

ceded the sermon. Rev. J. R. Greer, of Philadelphia, and Rev. L. O. Manchester, pastor of the local M. E. Church, each offered prayer. The speaker of the morning was Rev. Edwin Hewitt, pastor of the Tabernacle Church, Camden. Loud "amens" frequently rang out through the congregation. At the close of the service Miss Smith sang a solo.

Sunday-school was held in the Audito-

rium at 2.30 in the afternoon. At 3.30 Evangelist Harrison conducted a song and praise service. Rev. W. A. Fergu-

son rallied the hosts of young people at 7 p. m. The singing is the attraction, the audience being led by a large choir, seated upon the platform extending the

entire width of the temple. Eight o'clock brought Evangelist Harrison face to face with an audience that crowded the Auditorium. The ex-

ercises began with a song service, at which Miss Smith sang a solo. At the

altar service a large number of penitents came forward, and soon great excite-

ment prevailed. The service continued until midnight, and will long be re-

membered by the vast audience. Not-

withstanding the threatening condition of the weather, the surf meeting was

held as usual. Rev. John R. Greer, Rev. George Poolton, Rev. Wallace MacMullen and John R. Kendrick addressed this meeting.

Though the number in attendance was not so large Monday as those of Sunday, the interest was fully as great.

Many who came intending to spend only Sunday here were so delighted that they decided to remain till the camp meeting closes on Wednesday night. Rev. John Greer, a popular worker in all the meetings, gave direct [?] Pentecostal service in the Tabernacle at 9.30 a. m. The Divine [?] was the theme able discussed by Rev. J. Ward Gamble at 10.30 a. m., the sermon having an excellent impression. "The Baptism of Fire" was the theme upon which it was announced Evangelist Harrison would preach in the afternoon. The announcement drew together a large audience, in which was an unusually large percentage of ministers. The sermon was received with great fervor and aroused much enthusiasm. After the sermon scores of people knelt at the altar and at the seats seeking the blessing described by the evangelist. The twilight service for the young people again attracted crowds. In the meeting in the evening it was resolved to organize "The Young People's Organization of Ocean City Camp Meeting." The purpose, as defined by the leader, Mr. Ferguson, is to accomplish religious work among the young people who attend this camp meeting from year to year. The sermon in the evening was preached by Mr. Harrison, after which he conducted a revival service, at which several professed conversion. Tuesday morning's services were in charge of Rev. A. D. Shields. At 10.30 Rev. Willian Pickop, of Darby, Pa., preached on "The Gain of Godliness." "The Ground of Forgiveness" was the subject of Rev. Shields' afternoon discourse. Rev. Ferguson held his usual young people's meeting, which the temple was not able to contain. Evangelist Harrison preached in the Auditorium at 8.00 p. m. from Prov. xiv:12. At the conclusion of his sermon penitents were invited forward to the altar and a regular old-fashioned revival followed.

The closing services yesterday were remarkable for the interest manifested.

The Pentecostal services at 9.30, the

preaching service, and the experience

meeting and love feast were all wonderful gatherings. Dr. J. B. Graw, of Camden, preached during the day, and Evangelist Harrison delivered a short sermon in the evening. The young people's meeting knew no diminution, numerically or otherwise, the same earnestness being manifested. The good done at these meetings is beyond computation, especially among the younger

element.

After the sermon by Evangelist Harrison all present formed a procession and marched through the spacious grounds around the Auditorium. As the worshipers marched they sang, "We'll Never Say Good-bye in Heaven," "God Be with You Till We Meet Again," and similar songs. After the march all reassembled in the Auditorium, where the final jubilee services were held, which consisted of songs and brief addresses by the ministers present. This was followed by a general hand-shaking, the ministers standing within the chancel railing and the people passing in front of them. During the closing services the grounds were beautifully illuminated by hundreds of Japanese lanterns and red lights. The closing scenes were the most remarkable in the history of Ocean City camp meeting, which will mark the turning point in the life of many of those in attendance. There were present hundreds of people from all sections, Atlantic City furnishing her quota. Mr. Harrison has been invited to be present at next year's meeting, and the reverend gentleman has expressed a desire to accept the invitation.

Hymeneal.

The marriage-bells rang out merrily on Thursday last when Peter W. Murdoch, of Ocean City, led to the altar Miss Emma Cross, daughter of Charles Cross, of Burlington. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride, where they will take up their residence for the present. The contracting parties are well

known in this city, where they enjoy a large circle of friends.

We extend our hearty congratulations, and hope their journey through life may be one of unalloyed happiness.
